Hillbrow Theatre Shooting

A shooting took place at
Hillbrow theatre this past Sunday when a concert goer lost his temper during a
live performance. The disgruntled and intoxicated man jumped on stage, in the
middle of a live band’s performance, and snatched the microphone.

His cellphone
had allegedly been stolen and he demanded to know who had taken it.

The man threatened to ‘shut
the show down’ if nobody attempted to step forward and return his cellphone.
His words were backed by ammunition when he suddenly whipped out a pistol and
shot straight into the crowd killing one person and wounding seven.

He fled the scene on foot
and was later arrested by police, the next day, for a separate crime he had
committed with four other accomplices. He is currently under police guard at Tembisa hospital.
